Have you noticed when the ants brought food? Seen there are ants that carry a greater load than his body. According to research, ants can carry 10 times the weight of the tube. If there is a large burden that can not be brought alone, ants have a strategy, namely gathering his friends and menggotongnya gang so that objects can be brought to the nest. A compelling and compact strategy for achieving that goal is called teamwork.
We can learn from the ant life strategy. If you've noticed there are some ants finding your food targets, then when a group of ants decide to bring their findings (target). If the food is not enough to bring one or two ants to the nest, some ants will report (identification) to others and return to the findings. Before they pick up the findings of the food, they first go around it repeatedly, forward and backward (measure) measure and analyze for a long time. Even sometimes one ant goes away and returns with more ants, still has not decided to lift. Then the ants marching through the path near the find, usually turn the direction briefly, some remain close to the gathered findings and some return to the team selection once they are absolutely sure, the findings of the food can be lifted then they start the manever raised the findings. Although when lifting sometimes shaky to the right and left.
In the course of the ants carrying the food targets, there are teams that carry the target and some ants usually follow one by one in front of it, and followed by some small clustered ants behind (support system). There is also always an ant that has been here during the transportation process, which is nimbly watched (project leader) running in front, beside behind the carrier team. Then, the group stopped, and that one ant, which was shimmering from the others would still be busy talking from one ant to the other, to and fro the next maneuver. Several times, on the way, groups of transporters and escorts will stop, there are ants that take turns replacing replaced from his escort group, and so on. And the other ants that walk near them will always stop near this group and continue on their way back.
A collection of ants can run a series of strategies executed sweetly and appropriately by them. There are some lessons to be learned from our wise friend named ants? Why are we not more compact and wise of them? Here lies the difference.
Ours belong together
Ants do not have this food understanding of mine, or it's just for you. In the category of achievement and success of the project should only exist, this thinking perspective belongs to us; not us, me and you. While humans prefer to see the project as if doing something must be profitable for me first, or I will not do it for you and the work that is given finally based on the calculations in front of how much salary, bonus and office facilities provided for me?
Do we work should not benefit? Of course it should, it should be. Ants are also definitely looking for profit. The work person must get the equitable and fair results earned through the correct process.
Fix Mental Attitude
Most people are more busy thinking about profits before work begins. In fact, it is better to mobilize all the ability to maximize results first, then gain a profit later. Do not turn around. There is no way you can focus on work if every time you are busy calculate profit and loss work in this company? Stop thinking this is not my company, and start taking a position of ownership in whatever position you are in the company by stating, the future of this company, I am responsible for looking after it. Learn to appreciate your circumstances, and make your presence an important part of the company, regardless of your position at work.
Refine the Strategy
Cooperation can not be imposed. It can only be taught by habit. Look at the key we find from the ant strategy. When you find an opportunity, and decide to take the opportunity as a target, identify all the resources you can find, make the right measurements, retest until you are sure that the target can be achieved for your team, then find and select the right team ie those who competent and in one vision with you to reach the goal. Do not stop here, create a support system (support system), this is your security umbrella. Prepare the second layer in the core team with the same competencies, do not be tempted to take many people who do not have the same competencies and competencies with each other, this will only add to the burden. Cooperation also builds the right people for the right job and puts them in a shared responsibility. Pay attention to busy leaders, directing and ensuring goals can be achieved by the whole team. This leader does not wait for his team to work in harmony by itself, he is the one who is most responsible to motivate, cultivate the spirit and show the cooperation strategy that supports the achievement.
